They all turned out to be PLO terrorists who had for four days saved their skin8 by this protective cover. Living Dangerously — An air force pilot, sum- moned to his unit on the eve of the war, was arrested for speeding, as he hastened to the air base. He pocketed the ticket, and was soon in the air. In the battle with Syrian planes that followed, he downed five MiGs. A week later, on home leave, his mother exclaimed over a bruise on his forehead. No, he had not been wounded in battle, he explained. When the planes had returned after their tangle with the Syrians they had thrown a party to celebrate, and he had been hit by the cork from a cham- pagne bottle which had been opened carelessly. Good Manners — A committee of Knesset mem- bers made the rounds of the wards at the Rambam Hos- pital and presented the Knesset medal to every wounded soldier. Jehad Adi smiled through his ban- dages, shook hands with the politicos, and politely ac- cepted the medal. Only the others in the ward knew that Jehad was not an Is- raeli soldier, but a wounded member of the PLO, who had been brought in for emergency treatment. Going My Way — Lt. Michael Zack, 21, got a short leave from his unit in Lebanon, and stood by the side of the road hitching a ride to his home in Beersheba. Outside the Lebanese village of Hatzbayah there was little traffic, and Zack almost de- spaired of being able to make it in time. At that moment a helicopter landed beside him and a pilot inquired: "Going south?" The forlorn soldier had been sighted. from the air and was able to get home in ample time. Hevra Kadisha — One of the most unpleasant jobs in the army is that of the military rabbinate, who must look after the corpses. Among the others they also afford decent burial to the enemy, and take great pains to bury the Moslem dead with their heads facing Mecca, as required by their faith. Bad Taste — Legal steps are being considered against an advertising promoter who printed thousands of postcards bearing advertising mes- sages, and distributed them cording to a Pentagon spokesman. Get Him to the Synagogue — Captain CARL ALPERT free among soldiers at the front, to encourage their writing home. One of the cards carried the slogan: "Israel's army exterminates the terrorists; Yaron exterminates house- hold pests." With Degree — Dov Shilansky, a member of the Israel Cabinet, visited a stockade where Israel was holding terrorist prisoners. Outside the prison he struck up a conversation with two blonde girls, both German- speaking, who protested that their husbands were being held unjustly. "We are Germans, a cul- tured people; would we marry terrorists?" they asked. "Yes, I am familiar with German culture," Shilansky replied. "I am a graduate of a German un- viersity." When they in- quired as to which univer- sity, he replied laconically, "Dachau," and walked away. 11•11 ■ 21111 ;f1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111i1= NEW YORK — Barry Ro- sen, one of four Jews in the group of 52 Americans held hostage in Iran, has been appointed full-time special assistant to the president of Brooklyn College. Rosen graduated from the college in 1965. They're Only Kids — Great pains were taken not to hurt innocent civi- lians. When one Israeli unit entered a village to flush out hiding terrorists, they ignored a group of children. Yet youngsters in the street fired shots, one of _which wounded the platoon com- mander. His words to his men: "Don't hurt them; they're only kids." MAGICIAN Exciting entertainment for your organization. dub or private party.

For lack of other transporation, he got a lift on an Israel navy vessel which brought him to port, from which he made it in time to stamp the glass under the hupa. Redeemed — The show- ing made by the Israel- flown F-15s against the Syrian-flown MiGs, served to redeem the reputation of the American plane in Is- rael's history. In 1977 it was the arrival of these planes after the onset of the Shabat which led to the fall of the Rabin government. IS THE BUY OPEN MON. & THURS. w 9 P.M.
